If you’re a true follower of the Port Harcourt entertainment industry you’ll agree with me that the industry skyrocketed above every reasonable doubt in 2017. With so many home grown events shutdown, entertainers were up and doing, their numerous impacts led to the visible improvements that diverted the attention of the youths from political matters to creative entertainment matters.

Although hundreds of entertainers worked immensely in achieving this feat, our list can only accommodate a few due to but not limited to the following;

Avoidance of ambiguity: This means that, the list can only accommodate limited number of musicians due to space constraints.

Feature advantage: This means that, artistes who have their content on PHcityPromo.com have an added advantage to make it into our list

Without further ado, i present to you the list “Most Outstanding Port Harcourt Based Nigerian Musicians in 2017” in Descending order.

6. Alasa Poronto

Alasa Poronto

International man from Outanational music, Alasa Poronto in 2017 displayed doggedness that’s capable of fetching someone overnight success. He had top notch collaborations with popular names in the National level, the likes of 1da Banton, Mkazeand a video project with Lekture Amama. To crown it all the highly skilled musician was nominated by award organizers around the nation.

5. Dandizzy

Dandizzy

This is one of the most popular new names when musicians are mentioned in the city of Port Harcourt. After ‘Bursting Loose’, news about the young lad started spreading like wildfire. But then some “Thomases” kept their doubt in check as to whether or not the very versatile freestyler can actually make a real record. Guess what? The track EGWEJI was an eye opener, without visuals (at the time) it went viral; with a proper music video directed by Ed IZycs, Dandizzy attained a ‘Celebrity Status’ in the city of Port Harcourt.

And of course the likes of Timeyin and Sammy Hart couldn’t be mentioned. Timeyin was the only one that went on an international tour, she didn’t do so many shows because of the nature of her work, but her followers hip doubled this year, she had twice as much YouTube views as any artiste in Rivers state, has been acknowledged by a good number of A list artiste’s and gathered streams from mtn and Spotify more than all of them. Maybe she didn’t go mainstream and she’s not much of a noise maker but trust me, her name deserves to be on this list.
She’s largely underrated and I tell her all the time to move to Lagos since that’s where she’s respected more.

Sammy Hart and Cynthia Yakie nkor?

Cynthia Yakie has probably achieved twice as much as all these artiste’s you have listed here.

It is high time you guy’s respected the women in the game. These two ladies would soon leave for Lagos. Same way Xtacy left and is doing better than that Alasa poronto that nobody svsn knows

These ratings are not from Rivers State Ministry of Tourism and culture, or states that If your name is missing you are a failure. The publisher has its criteria and rights. Please no need to argue about or make comparison pls. More grace everyone

Firstly, I’d like to say that this is a well laced writeup, and every artiste listed here deserved to be here because of their hard work in 2017. Finally, Big ups to King Loxxy, the undisputed champion. Well done.
